Infinite Soft Theorems from Gauge Symmetry
read the original abstract
In this letter we show that the soft behaviour of photons and graviton amplitudes, after projection, can be determined to infinite order in soft expansion via ordinary on-shell gauge invariance. In particular, as one of the particle's momenta becomes soft, gauge invariance relates the non-singular diagrams of an n-point amplitude to that of the singular ones up to possible homogeneous terms. We demonstrate that with a particular projection of the soft-limit, the homogeneous terms do not contribute, and one arrives at an infinite soft theorem. This reproduces the result recently derived from the Ward identity of large gauge transformations. We also discuss the modification of these soft theorems due to the presence of higher-dimensional operators.

geoSCET: Soft Theorems from Power Counting
geoSCET derives geometric soft theorems for scalar field theories directly from effective-field-theory power counting and proves they are exact to all orders in perturbation theory when no potential is present.

Infinite Symmetry Algebras in Four-Dimensional Conformal Field Theories
Universal light-ray operators from the stress tensor generate the wedge subalgebra of w_{1+∞} in generic interacting 4D CFTs, with finite one-point functions matching the full tower of soft graviton and gluon factors.

Kerr Soft Dressing and the $w_{1+\infty}$ Frame Algebra at Null Infinity
The Kerr soft exponent generates a parity-alternating hierarchy of null-infinity frame generators—displacement memory at s=0, spin memory at s=1, and higher moments alternating by Kerr multipole parity—realized as the...

Soft Algebras via Bulk Double Soft Limits
Bulk double soft limits of gravitational amplitudes fail to reproduce the recursive generation of higher-order soft theorems that celestial soft algebras suggest from the first three terms alone.

$w_{1+\infty}$ as the Frame Algebra of Kerr Soft Dressing
Kerr soft dressing exponentiates into a parity-alternating tower of frame shifts whose chiral-projected composition law is the w1+∞ bracket, solved in closed form for aligned spin.

Soft Algebras via Bulk Double Soft Limits
Bulk double soft limits introduce subtleties absent from boundary celestial CFTs, so the full soft expansion of gravitational amplitudes cannot be generated from the first three terms via celestial algebras.
